Multi-cluster mode ?

[azr]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I have to deal with many clusters. I have this command that starts an iterm and runs a specific k9s on each iterm:

get_clusters | iterm_k9s

tell application "iTerm"
  create window with default profile
  delay 0.3
  tell current window
    tell current session
      write text "k9s --context ${ctx} --headless -n all -c 'pod /!running|completed|terminating'"

And this works, but, also is meh ? Because if I want to change a filter I have to do it for each window. Sometimes a filter makes a specific cluster empty, but the window takes the whole screen space. But I have more clusters than screen space, so I end up resizing terms all the time.

Describe the solution you'd like

Could be nice to launch k9s in multi cluster mode, ex, k9s --context context_a,context_b or something.

The display settings would be the same for all instances, like :

• [pods/node/etc], but for all clusters, and a single filter/namespace setting but for all cluster views.

Describe alternatives you've considered

That script starting many iterm instances ? But meh.

Going the same direction, also supporting multiple namespaces would be nice. I always have to go through a bunch of them, to then do the same filters etc

@azr I think you can use k9s alias feature here to make certain commands available and share it across all your clusters.

# ~/.config/k9s/aliases.yaml
aliases:
  pbozo: po ns-1 /bozo app=blee # => show pods in ns ns-1 filtered by bozo with labels app=blee

Would this help?
